Benicassim & Optimus Alive Cancellations

Wed 11 Jul, 2012

Hello everyone, thank you so much for all your messages of support, yes its true...it finally happened, I've lost my voice :(

I've sustained a vocal injury and been told I cannot sing for a week.. seriously I felt something snap, it was very frightening. Unfortunately this means I will not be able to perform at Benicassim and Optimus Alive festival this weekend...I am so so sorry. I'm so sorry to all the fans, I was desperate to still perform, but was told without question not to, so as not to do permanent damage..x
 
I hope i can make it up to you in the future, have an amazing time...yours croakily florence...x

  • Wow Flo, I just read your post about losing your voice, which floors me because I just saw you last night in Indianapolis and your voice was so strong!! You must be a quick healer, Flo!! We were 3rd row and you remembered me from the Indy show last year on the 4th of July, which made the whole night even cooler. Anyway, thank you for another awesome performance Flo A fan forever!!!

  • I'm with the other fans who posted. Take care of yourself. Rest is sacred too and necessary for you to continue to create the amazing music that you do. Heal and I can't wait to see you and the machine back at it.

  • Please just recover. Need to relax and rest. You must have a very hectic schedule. Will pray for a strong and quick recovery...

  • Hi, I hope you get better! :) Do you think you can come to Portugal this year? Please say something!

  • Dearest Flo, you can't imagine how sad I was when i was told you weren't coming to Optimus Alive Festival. Your concert was so important that the ticket was given to me by my boyfriend on my birthday. Tomorrow i'll go and see The Cure but with a sadness in mind because i won't get to see you. I wish you a quick recovery and hopefully a brief concert date in Portugal. I'm a huge fan of yours and please play Howl in the next gig! xx

  • Nice message from a polish Flo-Fan (I did my very best, but Google translate has its flaws) : I decided to write this in polish because of my nervousness, worry and sadness. Flo you are and will always be in my heart forever; I love your voice, you, and your team. I'am so sad when you are, and I always hope the sadness will end. I will pray for you to get better. When you go to Berlin, I hope everything will be ok. Also, please come to Poland!  ~ Same from me, and I wish you all the...
